Allison's lesson was very helpful in helping me to really discover how I learn. My story involved learning how to ride a bike.  It was refreshing to discover that the skills I use to learn in class/school were first applied to a non-school activity/environment.  Thinking about what a teacher needs to do to help me learn also allowed me to relfect on my own teaching style.  I discovered that the approach I need from teachers is also the approach I take when teaching.   Allison's lesson would be great to do as part of my school's very first professional development.  My goal would be for our teachers to see themselves as learners and pinpoint how they learn and think about what a teacher's approach needs to be to in order for them to learn and in turn relfect on their own approach to teaching our students and hopefully making adjustments in order to meet our students' needs.
